The Canadian Government in the last few years has been on the global vanguard of cannabis industry regulations. A critical job within this new Canadian cannabis industry is that of Quality Assurance Person (or QAP). This science focused position forms the foundation for the operations of all licensed producers and cannabis processing facilities, but what does it actually entail? Today we speak with Dr. Cris Alves, CSP member and long-time QAP for various companies. We discuss requirements to become QAP, what the job entails, and both the good and bad of the position in our current cannabis industry. Join us in the first episode of our ongoing series exploring Cannabis Science Jobs. Additional information and references: https://cannabisconciencia.org/ http://www.coopradio.org/
